About the Pattern: Design features a standard “C2C” (corner to corner) construction for the hat body. It is worked in rows, starting at one corner and increasing on each row to create a right triangle measuring “hat height”, then working even to create the length of the rectangle to measure the desired “head circumference”, then finally decreasing to complete the final corner. The rectangle is then joined to form the hat body, a knit-look ribbed hat band is worked in short rows around the bottom of the hat and the top of the hat is drawn together.

Finished Sizes: Refer to size chart for standard hat heights and head circumferences. The sample slouch hat was made 2” taller than the standard ladies hat height measurement (10” tall).
